Some of you may remember my collection of 'Dresses', made using several textile techniques. Two of the dresses have been sold and four of the others are now available to buy through this website.

​

Elvis Dress

Fabrics handprinted with images inspired by Elvis and his music are pieced in a 'cinematic' way and machine quilted.

I've always loved the music of Elvis and on my 50th birthday we re-took our marriage vows with an impressive Elvis look-a-like in Las Vegas, complete with singing vows!

Black Magic Dress

I really enjoyed experimenting with the exciting technique of printing with discharge paste using a thermofax screen made of images of pieces of vintage crochet lace. Using the same pattern as the other dresses I created another front-only quilted dress and appliqued squares of metallic gold silk organza, machine stitched and added beads and lots of handquilting as well. The hanger complements the dress perfectly.

Recycled Denim Dress

Over the years I've collected quite a lot of denim bits and for this dress I used a vintage French linen dress as a base and covered it with old denim patches. I stitched all the layers together by hand with white cotton and indigo dyed threads using simple running Sashiko style stitches.The result was a 'Boro' style patchwork. Boro is a Japanese word meaning 'tattered rags' and used to describe lovingly patched and repaired bedding and clothing. The stitching gave greater strength to the material and added extra layers of fabric for thickness and warmth

Journal QuiltsAfter several years of creating monthly journal quilts I've decided to sell some of them and they are already very popular.You can mount it on a square of white mount board and will look lovely in one of the Ikea simple white or black deep square frames.Each journal quilt cost £30 or £50 plus P & P, depending on size and the amount of work involved.

Holland Dress

Lutradur is a versatile industrial material that can be painted with acrylic paint, printed on and can be cut with scissors or even a soldering iron. This particular piece was made for an outdoor exhibition during a typical British summer, where the wind blew and it rained, but without the dress coming to any harm.The inspiration comes from my country of the Netherlands, the bright green grass and cows of Friesland and the happy colour of tulips.
